Romans 10:5-11 For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which does those things shall live by them.… Distinguished by this text of belief, and confession of that belief, men are divided into four classes. There are those(1) who neither make confession of any such belief with the mouth, nor believe these truths in their hearts. (2) Those who believe indeed in the heart, but who fear to confess their belief in Christ before men, or who even do as Peter did, when in the time of trial he denied that he knew the Lord (Matthew 26:72; cf. Mark 8:38). (3) Those who confess with their lips the truths revealed by God, but who do not believe in Him with their hearts; who profess that they know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (Titus 1:16; cf. Matthew 15:7, 8). (4) Those who confess Him with their mouth before men, and who believe in Him with their hearts. To these is the promise made that they shall be saved. (W. Denton, M.A.) Parallel Verses KJV: For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.WEB: For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them." |
